ODD ADDRESSES.
Some Of the Curiositics Discovered by Brit

Many oddly-addressed letters daily pass
through the post-ofices. Several OF the
rhyming kind are somewhat remarkable
for the poetical skill displayed by the
writers.
A clever example is given in the fol-
lowing addressed to Sir Walter Scott dur
ing one of his visits TO London:
Sir Walter Scott, in London or eisewhere;
He needs not ask, whose wide-extended famc
Is spread about our earth. like light and air,
A local habitation for his name.
Charles Dibden, the navalsong writer,
sent a letter to Mr. Hay, bearing the fol-
lowing address,
Postman, take this sheet away,
And carry it TO Mr.. Hay;
And, whether you ride mare or colt on,
Stop at the Theater, Bolton.
II in what county you inquire,
Merely mention Lancashire.
A letter addressed as follows was mailed
in the Provinces, and was duly delivered
in London:
Where London's column pointing to the skies.
Like tall bully. lifts its head and lies,
There dwells a citizen of sober fame
A plain, good man-and Balaam is his name.
The letter was delivered without delay
TO Mr.. BALKAN, a fishmonger near the
monument.
Turning from poetry to prose, we find
the following vague direction:
Mr.. =, Travelling Band. one of the Four play
ing in the street. Persia [Pershorel
Worcestershire. Please find him, If posi-
bic.
Another envelope bore the following:
This is for the young girl that wears specta-
cles, who minds two babies. 30 Sheriff
Street, OF Prince Edwin Street Liverpool
Mr.. J. Wilson Hyde, in his book, 1.-The
Royal Mail" says that two letters, direct
ed as follows, were duly delivered:
! To my sister Jean, Up the Canongate, Down a
Close, Edinburgh. She has q wooden leg
The other was addressed:
Ny dear Ant Sue as lives in the Cottage by the
Wood near the New Forest.
'In the latter case" says Mr. Hyde, ''the
letter had to feel it's way about for day
or two; but Ant Sue was found living in
q cottage near Lyndhurst."

TAXING LADIES' MAIDS.
How the Swiss Tax Foreigners for tho Sup
port of Their Government.

How the Swiss Tax Foreigners for tho Sup
port of Their Government.
charleston News and Courier.1
Sojourners in Switzerland, that ideal
land of liberty. arc surprised to find that
they are taxed literally for the support of
the Government. Each visitor is expected
20 contribute five francs a year to the pub
lie treasury, and the failure to pay the
amount promptly involves a fine of twenty
francs. Strangers are not notified about
the law and know very little about it. The
course taken is to let them alone until the
time for paying the taxes has expired and
then pounce down II pom and bleed them to
the amount of four dollars each This is
thrifty, is it not! Then, in addition, every
stranger is expected to produce passport
and exhibit certificates of birth, baptism
and marriage, which is, to say the least,
awkward, if not difficult, for travelling
Americans.
A Charleston lady, who is staying at
Lausanne. has had some rather unpleas-
ant experiences in connection with the tax
business. To her surprise she found that
no one was allowed to pass as much as two
months there without applying for a
Government permit, and when it was sug
gested that this was exceedingly unfair
to those who might be ignorant of both the
laws and the language of the country, the
lady was informed that lack of informa-
tion was regarded as an aggravation of
the ofTense, and punished accordingly. It
is considered By the Swiss Government the
duty of every honest man to familiariZe
himself with the laws and regulations of
the country which protects him. Finally,
the lady in question, with the assistance
| of letter from Secretary Bayard, was eX-
cused from predicting the certificate of
| age, etc, and received permission TO re-
main in Switzerland for four years. But tho
letter of the Secretary of State is held in
| pawn, so to speak. and is not to be sur
| rendered until the lady in question obtains
the requisite permission and takes her de-
! parturc. Her maid, whom she took to
| Switzerland from Paris, has been accorded
permission 10 remain six months in Swift
erland on the payment of thirty cents. Al
| the end Of six months she must again petit
ton for leave TO remain, and pay he "a.

The Chemists and NIoxIe,

The remarkable powers of this tasteless plant has excited a great deal of curiosity among the scientific classes as to it's compo- sition The chemists determine all but the Moxie, which is unknown to them, and say it is vegetable, harmless, and does not appear as if it was able to accomplish much, but nc one can deny it's remarkable effects in sus- taining the nerves. No one has been able yet to determine any ill effects more than would come from food, ss it neither stimu- lates, reacts or loses it's effect like nervines, etc. If it is not a nerve food, what is it Some physicians say nerve foods are hum- bugs. Then they should account for the action of this If it will help nervous people and inebriates out of their difficulties, in heavens name let it have a chance. They ask no swindling price for it.

A Startling Fact.

It is not commonly known that large proportion of the rheumatism and neuralgia extant is traceable directly to the diseased condition or imperfect action of the kidneys and liver; therefore a remedy which cures the resulting disease must have found and smitten the first cause. Many persons using AthIophoros for rheumatism and neuralgia have been surprised to fiud that chronic dis orders of the liver and kidneys have also been greatly relieved and they have written for an explanation. The fact is, that the remedy acts directly these organs, cleans ing them from all irritating substances and regulating their action. Taken in connection with Athlophoros Pills this is, without ex- ception, the most valuable kidney and liver remedy in the world, and will cure large proportion of those who have these diseases.
 It is owing to Athlophoros that I am alive. have suffered with infiammatory rheuma- tism for years, most of the time being per- fect1y helpless. But one bottle of Athlo- phoros has cured me. There IS nothing like it for the speedy relief and permanent cure of rheumatism, so I recommend it to all, knowing it will accomplish what it claims to MRS E. VICKERs,

 I have sold over half gross of your rheu- matism and neuralgia cure, Athlophoros, during the spring and summer months. l have no negative testimonial for it, but al most universal recommendation. Several acute cases, and some in chronic stages, have been cured in Willimantic and vicinity.
